D D Moyer of the Missouri College of Agriculture warns that hatchery success depends on proper feeding and management. He notes many raisers miss fall eggs because chicks hatch late in spring, and outlines maturation times: light breed pullets reach lay in 4.5 to 5 months, heavy breeds in 6 to 6.4 months, advising February hatching for fall and winter production.
